He's been playing the 4 all year. All rookie of the month multiple times. Just won it again in January. Bye

Looks tired tonight...but Dudley is 6'6/7"...you really think a 7'3" player can keep up with someone that size???

I think he'll definitely be a five eventually. He looks pretty tentative and out of sorts.

In Phil's in-game interview it really sounded like he was unhappy with KP's development of late.

I just don't like how they're using him. He shouldn't be allowed free reign out there. I really don't like him jacking 3s, don't like him creating way out high...I'd like to see him posting up more, facing up against guys in the mid-range, I'd like the team to free him up for more opportunities in the mid-range. MID-RANGE -- that's this guy's office.

We've seen smaller defenders give KP problems.

Dudley is a 3. He's been overly physical and he's making shots he normally misses. KP looks frustrated to me. It's ok I'm sure he'll get rookie of the month 2 now times before the seasons over

KP cant guard SFs.....who are PFs in todays game thanks to MDA and GS for changing the game to small ball. At the same time....u can say SFs cant guard KP. The problem is KP is not an offensive assassin like Melo. He doesnt take advantage of mismatches on the other end.

Be careful trying to build around an unknown player like KP. Hes a solid glue guy at this point. Until he figures out how to be selfish, he will be exactly what you see....just stronger. A nice two way role player until he builds up total body strength.

Rambis had a word with KP at the end of the bench after he subbed out and when KP went back in he started playing closer to the rim, hit a nice bank shot.

He can't guard 3's, that's what they've put on him. The issue would be solved if KP had a better post or mid-range game. If/when KP does what he did a few times on a consistent basis, which is to make them pay for putting small wings on him, then they'll have to adjust. Until he doesn't have a good post/power game, he can't really make them pay. Really think this is part of the reason Jackson wants Rambis in. Rambis will not be happy with him sitting back and just launching outside shots or giving better closer man up effort on defense.

He has no post up game and no inside game at all. All he does is some weird looking hook shots that he either hits or misses badly. I'm sure that will be one of his biggest things he works on in the off season and if he can put on some weight he should be alright next year cause as we've seen when he works on something he usually get good at what he wants to get good at.

So you dont like a 3pt shooter shooting 3s.....?

I agree he shouldn't be creating off the dribble against smaller guys. But hes a deadly catch and shoot player. And should only take big guys off the dribble.....back down small guys.....

If you watch closely, what they'll do is draw Porzingis into the paint to anchor or protect the rim, and then have him have to rotate out to a perimeter guy. If his feet are set he can defend almost any position. It's that when he has to run and then defend, he gets in major trouble. What teams are doing is getting Porzingis off the ball.

if you say he's a 5 enough, maybe it'll turn true.

you mean starting at 1 because jose is always penalizing rolo and kp by not being able to keep anyone out of the paint

Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

KP is a great young talent that can play 4 or 5! Our issue is the other players not holding their own defensively.
